Adaptability
When it comes to buying a double buggy, there's a lot to think about. You'll want to ensure that your children are comfortable, safe and content while you explore new routes and places. You'll also want to consider the overall cost, size, weight and durability. A well-known brand (within your budget, of course) will increase the resale value as well as speed up the purchase process down the line.
Depending on the number of children you have to carry, there are two main kinds of double buggy 3 wheels: front-facing and side by side. Side-by-side buggies tend to be smaller than front-facing designs however they tend to have larger footprints. Mountain Buggy Duet is one of the smartest models on the market. It is the slimmest side-byside buggy on the market and it can even fit into doorways that are narrow!
Tandem buggies are usually larger. They are designed as a single stroller, but can be adjusted by adapters to accommodate a second seat or carrycot. Some tandem buggies can be used to accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or a child and newborn due to their clever seating configurations. The UPPAbaby Vista 2 can be transformed into a triple with the addition of the optional 'Piggy Back Board'.
The iCandy Orange tandem buggy is another stylish tandem buggy that features a unique 'cinema seat design. This allows you to adjust the rear seat so that your children can be seated in different positions. This gives you a choice of 30 seating arrangements and is ideal for parents who have young children who are at very different stages in development.
Another option is phil&teds sport. This multi-award winning buggy is a world first that will protect your wallet in the near future. It begins as an amazing single, but can be adapted to take two (or three!) as your family grows all within the same footprint as one buggy! The sling seat is the key to this. It's perfect for newborns and offers superior stability, maneuverability, and kerb-pop.
Manoeuvrability
In general, double buggys with 3 wheel pushchair with car seat wheels are easier for you to maneuver and handle than double pushchairs with 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller and less broad which results in a lighter weight. They are able to be moved more easily and are also easier to move around kerbs.
An excellent example is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is the slimmest side-by-side buggy on the market and has the same footprint as one single buggy. This makes it ideal for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways or even on public transport. Plus, the fact that it can also accommodate twins or two car seats/car carrycots means it can be used at any time from birth.
Another option is the UPPAbaby Vista 2. This is a great light buggy that is ideal for urban living and also comfortable on more uneven or rough terrain. It is suitable for twins as well as a baby and toddler because of its four-wheel suspension and large rear wheels. Its light frame ensures it can be lifted and carried easily too. The only issue is that it's a little harder to maneuver on uneven ground as compared to other models.
Comfort
If you plan to take your buggy out for long jogs or walks it's worth spending more on one that can handle the rough terrain. Look for a 3-wheeled model with large rear wheels that can withstand the bumps and have a suspension system to absorb shocks. The front wheels should be securing optimally to give you better control over rough terrain, and also to make it easier to get around corners.
A quality double buggy allows you to adjust the seat positions so both children feel comfortable. The best 3 wheel stroller travel system models have reclining seats and adjustable footrests for children older than. There's plenty of room to store your groceries keys, phone, and keys.
Another thing to look out for is a smooth fold mechanism. Our Lab experts prefer models that have straps under the seats that allow the buggy to be pulled apart or a lever to release a catch that folds the frame in half, which takes just a couple of seconds. Some models can even be folded with the seat removed to make them smaller when not in use.
The Mountain Buggy Duet is an award-winning side-byside that provides the best flexibility for twins or siblings. Its clever frame expands widthways to take the second seat (or carrycot) and still has a footprint the same as a single buggy, which means it can be pushed through doorways and on public transport. It's heavier than other models, but its smooth ride and effortless handling make the difference.
iCandy's Orange Convertible is another popular side-by-side with 30 seating configurations to fit all needs. It's an excellent choice for twins as the seats can be facing parents and can be converted into the form of a tandem pushchair, with a carrycot/seat in the middle.
The Joie Evalite Duo is a lightweight 3 wheel jogger-wheel option that's suitable for everyday use. It's not nearly as expensive as other models but its small turning radius and fixed front wheel make it trickier to manoeuvre through kerbs and up and down. It's easy-to-push and can be used for running buggy by adding a separate child carriage.
Safety
The phil&teds sports can be used to accommodate two children in multiple ways. From toddler to infant, using their car seat adapters, or twin kit. They can even handle 3 kids if you purchase their piggyback boards separately (around PS120). It is extremely secure due to its dual front swivels, superior maneuverability, and a handy footbrake. Plus, its parent tray is bigger than most double buggies, and the canopies have windows that peek out to improve visibility.

It also has a hand brake that is mounted on the adjustable handlebar for additional safety.
